Special Thanks

In addition to our board members, many volunteers have joined us on weekends to eradicate invasive plants and establish trails.

Other volunteers, such as Terry Mcnamara, Ira Flood and Glenn Likus, have brought their tractors and heavy equipment to these efforts.

We also appreciate the photography of the township archives, TLT trustees and photographer Sandy Ross.
